[QUOTE="MDCrappie, post: 318234, member: 160"] The higher pitch will make your holeshot slower. Think of putting a 10 speed in 10th gear and starting to pedal. The lower the pitch the more power. Check the back of your tach and see what the pole setting is on. Pretty sure the OMC's are 6. If you're getting over 32 mph, and you're L/U is the 2.41 you are likely spinning 6000rpm, but this does not coordinate with your slow holeshot.....unless your boat is extremely stern heavy or you are not trimming the motor all the way against the transom when taking off. Do you have power trim? If not the motor tilt pin could be set too far from the transom, causing the slow holeshot. If this is the case then you would need a higher pitch. [/QUOTE]
